Pulse:
Check pulse on wrist there is a blood-carrying vein in the thumb below the wrist, which can be easily diagnosed by feeling the pulsation of the vein.
*Pulse of South/Right hand of male and left hand pulse of female should be examined.
Pulse should not be examined during sleep or after breaking sleep, after oil massage, during or after eating, when hungry or very thirsty, after consumption of fire or sun, intercourse, travel, exercise or consumption of drugs. Because checking the pulse at the above time does not give correct understanding.
Variation of check pulse on wrist:
(a) Pulse of a healthy person:
Beats slowly like an earthworm, no inertia is felt. Women’s movements are usually soft in the morning, warm in the middle and rapid in the afternoon.
(b) Pulse rate of the patient:
(1) Air-affected patient’s pulse is curvilinear, with palpation moving in a curvilinear motion.
(2) The pulse of a patient with pitta kupati is jumpy like a crow or a veck.
(3) The pulse of the phlegm-affected patient is rapid, with mild malaise like hass or palpitations.
(4) If the prevalence of Vayu and Pitta increases in the patient, the movement of the pulse becomes crooked and fickle (Lomphaman) like a sap or a frog.

Knowing the signal of death through the pulse:
A pulse contaminated with air, burnt with bile and choked with coffee signals death. “If at first the pulse is rapid like that of a snake with wind-symptoms, and then the pitta-symptom-like wheezing is noticeable, and after that the phlegmatic goose-like motion is mild – then the disease is curable. But if there is confusion or disorder, it is impossible to cure the disease.
